Chapter 2: Thomas Potter Evans!
1932, Orphanage,London.
A 2 day old kid present in the cradle crying out loud. No one noticed him. All of a sudden a white flash appeared in room that made the baby dissapear from cradle.
Godric sighed as they came into the chambers along with little Tom. Helga immediately took the baby from him and started to cradle the crying baby.
"So, finally you did a succesful time travel"asked Salazar.
"Yes, I made a dopple ganger of the baby in the cradle, and took the Tom along with us to here."
"Even an enemy should not suffer what he suffered."Answered a dazed Rawenclaw looking into the space.
Salazar eyeing Rowena with doubt asked " Now that there was a major change in time line Rowena, I want to know how are you going on further with my heir"
Rowena looked at Salazar and asnwered " Fates are happy with the change, Sal. But fates want the boy to be placed with Potters."
Helga looked up in shock " What?" she immediately lowered her voice, looking at a now sleeping Tom and asked " U know what awaits for Potters in store. We are thinking of how to rescue Harry, and now you are saying we rescued Tom to get him placed with People who are going to get killed."
Rowena stated in a mild soothing but still firm voice " Rowena, we can't change every thing, to get Voldemort killed and to set the thing in motion, Potters should be died and the boy should be marked. Lily Potter was distraught to lose her second child already, thanks to the old coot. "
Salazar: I just want to kill the old coot, but nope I am not allowed. Why? How can he consider killing a small baby, just that he thinks having two kids will be a confusion for prophecy.
Godric who was now confused " Did I miss some thing, in the time when I am preparing my self for time travel and dealing with arithmacy"
Rowena growled " Yes, Lily potter gave birth to two healthy twins, but as soon as the twins were born. Old coot who was already there in invisibility cloak killed one kid, and obliviated Poppy's memory as such that the baby was stillborn"
"What?" shouted an angry Godric. But he was silenced by Helga, who was still cradling Tom.
After regaining his voice " How can the old dumble-bas***d even think of that. Is he considering him self any God?"
"Exactly, now I want the baby to be placed in place of the second baby of Lily Potter" Answered Rowena.
Godric again continued " Wow! place the kid with Potters and let the old coot kill him again. excellent idea Row"
Salazar smirked and continued " Indeed its excellent idea Ric! Tom will be adopted by Lily, Poor lady was missing her baby a lot."
After some persuasion finally Godric agreed and they continued their plan.
Hogwarts Infirmary,
Lily smiled as James took the Baby Harry from her hands and started to play with him, but at the same time she felt the pang of sadness remembering the second baby whom she lost . Lily remembered all the dreams she and James have along with padfoot and Moony about the two kids and how Padfoot and moony be the God fathers of the two kids. She felt her self about to cry again when she remembered the scene before two days when she was informed about her sons death.
She came back from her thoughts when she saw Madam Pomfrey coming in murmuring to her self, What she got catch of was the bundle in her arms.
" Poppy?"
Poppy looked at James who called her and managed to give a smile.
"Whats that? Sweet Merlin! Its a child."
Poppy sighed at the exclamation of Sirius and continued "Yes, some one leaved the child at gate of Hogwarts and left. I saw him when I was coming back from apothecary"
" How can some one leave a child like that?" asked a distraught Lily and took the child from hands of Pomfey. She looked at child, the child was with Jet black hair not that silky, but not the untamed hair like Potters. The child was cute with a white complexion. She felt a surge of affection to that child and decided at that moment that she will not leave the Child no matter what. She looked at Madam Pomfrey and asked " Poppy, do you think the child's parents will come back"
Poppy exclaimed "If they come back, I will kill them with my hands for leaving the baby like that, in these times. But I don't think they will"
Lily looked at James and asked with a soft pleading voice " james!"
James understanding what Lily was thinking " Poppy, we want to adopt the baby"
Pomfrey looked at them in shock " Do you really want/"
Lily said "Yes,we want to adopt the baby would have done it by blood, but we don't want to go under that ritual for a baby who was so small. we will perform it in his 11th year"
Pomfrey smiled and said " Looks like you got your baby back"
Lily smiled and said "Yes, Thomas Potter."
James came near Lily and he already gave Harry to Padfoot, he stood beside lily and the baby opened his eyes then , he smiled looking at James and James smiled " Look Lily, he smiled to me."
Lily looking at baby "Thomas! Do you like to go to Dad"
The baby chuckled , that made James glow with Joy "Baby wants to come to me. Baby, come to Father"
Lily:James he got a name. Thomas.
James ignored and took Tom from her hands and started to play with him. Pomfrey ignoring the antics of Marauder went in to get the Birth certificate done. And she asked Lily to fill the details.
Moony who came there then only looked at Lily who was doing some paperwork and went to her, he was still sad for losing his god son. He went there when Lily wrote his name in the place of God father. Remus who looked at it was shocked "Lily! I guess Sirius is already god father of cub"
Lily: I am mentioning you as God father of my second child Moony.
Remus who was confused asked " yoUr Second Child!"
Lily not raising her head from paper "Yes, Thomas Potter"
Remus gasped in shock "Hows that possible?"
Pomfrey took Remus aside and explained him what happened, and took Remus to James who was holding Tom. James looked at Remus and asked " Hey Moony, now are you happy. "
Remus didn't answered, he was looking at Tom in awe " Is it Thomas? "
James grinned "Yes Moony. Finally yoU too got hold of a God son, now you can't chide me for being more responsible than you:"
Remus took Tom from James and handling wiht utmost care happily exclaimed "My cub."
Sirius and Remus smiled t each other happily and the four ended up the whole day laughing and playing with both the kids
1981,halloween...
Potter cottage was in fumes, it was because of the explosion caused by the blowing out of a dark lord named Voldemort. After one such explosion any one may wonder that there's nothing left there, but there are cries of 2 babies,one in a cradle and other on the bed. The baby in cradle had a lightning scar on his fore head which was still fresh. Suddenly a white flash appeared and there entered the founders.
Salazar exclaimed ' I never expected the explosion will be this severe."
Godric who was near the bed frowned " Sal, I think Tom became unconscious"
What exclaimed both the ladies, they rushed to the baby along with Salazar for a moment forgetting that there was another baby there, they then found that the bed cloth was stained red. Godric worriedly took the baby in their arms and found the blood coming out from his shoulder "Merlin! The boy was injured."
In a worry the four founders dis appeared along with the boy.
After a moment there arrived another wizard who was very old and have long white beard and hair flowing down with half moon shaped spectacles. The wizard who was considered as the greatest sorcerer of the age, Albus-million named-Dumbledore bent over the kid in the cradle , he moved the freckles of hair to see the scar and whispered " Looks like you have a great journey to death a head my boy!"
At founders chambers,
Salazar exclaimed in frustration " We left the boy over there. We forgot the purpose for which we left there"
Helga who was already treating Tom along with Godric sighed " Sal, Boy was left with his relatives. He wasn't left with monsters"
Rowena firecely spoke "Why the hell did the old coot decided to leave the boy with those muggles, despite of having many magical relatives."
Helga frowned " I heard from the head master chamber that he was speaking something about blood wards"
" Blood wards with muggles, though I support the theory to some extent, I don't think the blood wards will repower if you don't show proper love."Salazar explained.
" I hope the boy was treated well by them" Rowena muttered.
" If not, they will pay for it, I am sure that I have no problem in getting the boy over here. " Salazar muttered to himself and then looked at Tom "Helga, Hows the boy?"
Helga sighed "He was okay! In heeling sleep, it will take some time for him to recover, but I guess, I can't tell any thing about him till he wake up" Salazar nodded and looked at Godric who was a bit apprehensive. He know his friend much more than any other, and can understand that Godric was in a bit of hesitation and in need of advice, He went to Godric and keeping a hand on his shoulder asked "Whats matter ric?"
"Nothing, I was thinking what will we do with the boy. I mean now the whole world thinks that the boy was dead and , I personally don't think, we let him be with those muggles. I mean they took Harry reluctantly, and it will be a bit too much for them to take another kid too. And I truly want to keep the child with us here. We know he need the love, and the boy remembers me of Arian" Godric explained
Salazar understood how Godric felt " You miss Arian a lot, don't you"
Godric said " Ofcourse , living for 1057 years don't make me a person over emotions. We all miss our children, and some times I wonder is it a boon or curse that our souls are given corporeal forms. It pains to see people around you dead."
Salazar sighed sadly " Yes agree with you. It pains a lot when we see people dying around us, and we are left here. We isolated ourselves from others so that we don't get attached to any one, but these two, why we feel attached to these two and care for them. Some times I my self wonder, why we are playing again when we know we will be left with sadness at end"
Every one say that Salazar Slytherin is a dark wizard and a ruthless person who hated muggles and muggleborn and prejudiced Purebloods. Godric always can't help but feel pathetic to those words, How can Salazar be prejudiced to Purebloods, when he himself was a first generation wiizard, in the other sense a muggle born. They lived in the days when Magic was considered evil and a slightest hint of Magic lead to the death of the wizard/witch. When one lost their family to such society obviously they will be wary of the society, and that was the condition with Salazar. He wasn't a racist nor a mundane hater, Indeed he was a soft, delicate hearted person amongst the four, and being the youngest of four, Salazar was always adored and treated as a child by them. Salazar was more powerful than the three of their magic's combined but still he never tried for dominance amongst them and indeed he was the one who first voted for Godric to be the head master of school, when the other two protested that it should be Salazar. Ofcourse Salazar dwelled into Dark arts, but they aren't evil by nature. And many times more than light magic , Dark magic had power ful and efficient impact. While he himself was complete expert in Light magic, Salazar was expert in Dark magic, though he used very little of it. And they both tried their whole life to combine both and make a neutral grey form. One day when they were discussing their plans, a small argument rise between both which made Salazar hurt and he went into chamber locking himself there. Later it was known that Salazar was caught by some villagers in a near by village when he tried to protect some students from witch burning and as a result he got himself killed, protecting the student group. Such a small argument was framed in history as if they both battled each other, and he threw Salazar out of castle etc etc. And the present day students of school and their rivalries, He always know how much Salazar was hurt with the happenings around the school and the occurrences in his own house. But as always Sal keeps all that behind his mask and try to cheer others. Godric sighed, as he thought how much time changed the thoughts in the wizarding world, and looked at Salazar who was probably thinking same as he does.
Four years later,
Salazar was screaming furiously, only the powerful silencing charm cast on the door prevented the agony of Salazar from reaching to the to the room where Tom was staying. One may wonder why he was screaming, the reason was "Harry Potter". Salazar was angry from the day he was left with his muggle relatives, and his anger reached peaks 2 years back when they made Harry an unofficial house elf to them. And today it reached peaks, because the boy was bet to the core by the elephant named Vernon dursley. He wasn't listening to others and he immediately disappear.
After a minute, a white flash occurred in a cupboard under stairs,
Salazar looked at the boy lying curled up on the floor shivering and bleeding. For a minute he got remembrance of his childhood and the pain he endured when his family was burnt alive by the muggles. The boy was muttering some thing to himself, Salazar leaned in to listen
" I.. am.. wai..ting..for..you.. death. Pl..ea..se... come ..and...ta...ke..me..."
Salazar gasped at what he listened, this boy who was merely 5 years old wishing for death, what had his relatives done to him,Salazar came off from his thoughts and touched the boy. Harry opened his eyes wide and sat " yoU came to take me?"
Salazar smiled "Yes"
Harry frowned "Are you death?"
Salazar said "No"
'Then who are you?"
" I am your friend Harry" salazar answered
Boy looked to his side and back, and looked back at Sal in confusion " Whose Harry?"
Salazar gasped "Merlin! The boy doesn't even know his name.' He came off from his thoughts and asked " Whats your name?"
Harry thought for a minute " I.. I don't know. Uncle call me freak and Aunt call me boy. I don't know my name . Do you know my name?"
"Yes, your name is Harry, Harrison James Potter"
"Harry" he mumbled to himself and looked at Salazar " Uncle says that freaks don't have friends."
Salazar muttered to himself with angry and looked at boy with smile " You are not a freak Harry. So you have friends, and a brother too"
Harry's eyes lit up at mention of 'brother' but again he become sad " He will also be like Dudley."
'Hell No" screamed Salazar, looking the boy startled Salazar maintained his anger " Harry, Dudley is not your brother. he's your cousin, and your brother is not like Dudley, He loves you a lot."
"Then why didn't he come to see me" there was accuse in Harry's voice .
Salazar sighed and explained " Look harry, All think your brother was dead, if any one know that your brother was alive then he would have been stayed with you here, and got all the beating you got. Would you like to see your brother in tears."
"No, and also if he was also here with me, then we both would have been a burden for Aunt. But I wish to see my brother. Will you take me to him friend?" asked Harry, all though he mentioned the word friend in a whisper.
Salazar smiled "Yes Harry, I will take you to him. But I want to ask you, will you like to stay with your brother, not here but at another place."
Harry smiled but hesitatingly spoke " Won't I be a burden there"
Salazar nodded his head in no "No, you are not. And indeed I hope you will be liked there."
Harry nodded his hea " I want to come. But what about here? What will you answer them"
Salazar thought for a minute, the boy can't be lived here, probably he won't even make his eleven if he stay here, but there were many wards and tracings present on house, probably made by the old coot. He had to see that in a way that every one should believe Harry was present here while he wasn't not. He looked around and found a big wooden statue beside the door, he looked at Harry and Harry as if observing why Salazar looked at him said " I made it, one day"Salazar thought to himself the boy was absolutely skilled and then looked at harry " Harry, what I do now , you might be surprised. But please don't scream or faint, Its not harmful." harry nodded doubtfully, and Salazar taking his wand did some incantations and transformed the wooden doll into an exact replica of Harry. He looked at Harry who was surprised and have his eyes wide. Harry looked at him and asked " you know Magic?"
"I am a wizard Harry, and so you are" Salazar stated silently.
Harry looked at the doll turned Harry and looked at Salazar . Salazar not looking at him said " I don't want your relatives or some other come searching for you, but also don't want to leave you here for your death. So he will stay here, the time till when your presence here is not needed."
Harry looked uncertain "But they will beat him, and I don't want any other to suffer on my behalf"
Salazar answered silently "He's not a living being Harry, just an illusion, I transformed a wood piece to look like you. He won't have any pain probably, nor even don't worry. "
"What do you get?" harry questioned silently and Salazar looked at him surprised "What do I Get?"
harry looked at him "You are helping me, but why do you do it, you too should have some advantage with it, or else why would you help me. I am sorry if I sound rude, but I don't want to keep any secrets from my friend, and also don't want to have any doubts on you"
Salazar thought to himself 'Perfect Slytherin. Though he is Godric's heir, he had more Slytherin qualities.' Salazar came off from his thoughts and answered to Harry "Harry, what you said was right, and I am doing all this because I want your friendship and I want you to get the proper growing environment you need to accomplish your future. And believe me, you and your brother should be together, so I am doing all this."
Harry looked at Salazar in eyes, he found nothing but serenity and love in his eyes. Harry felt he can believe this man, he agreed to go with man, before which he went to the wood Harry and hugged him whispering thank you . He went to Salazar who took his in arms and they both disappeared in a flash of light
